CHAPTER 49: "SHUT THAT CURIOUS MOUTH UP."

"Are you both willing to take me as your Master!" She question, with an eager expression. Her voice a low ripple spreading through the air, tinged with a suggestive tone.

"..." Black.

"Master!?" Zephyr blinked.

With a soft giggle, Evelynn turned towards Black, "Don’t you want to become stronger!?" She questioned, her voice laced with a seductive tone. Continuing, "If it wasn’t for the cunning of this little serpent, tell me what would’ve happened?". She questioned again.

Upon hearing her, Black’s Golden eyes widened. Of course he remembered that!. It was like a stain on his proud self! A wound on his identity as a Progenitor.

The curse of weakness he felt!.

The felling of helplessness!.

The wrath he felt towards himself!.

And the silent oath He took to become stronger.

To annihilate that curse! To never feel that cursed feeling! That sensation again!.

He could never forget the overwhelming sensations he felt earlier when he watched zephyr being held by her neck just inche away from death.

His very soul shuddered simply imagining that what would have happened if zephyr’s ability enthralling poisenous mist hadn’t worked! If zephyr... No!.

He simply shook his head getting his mind out of the dark thoughts. He looked at Evelynn with a determined expression. Although he didn’t know anything about her, neither her personality nor just how strong she was. However just looking at the confident smile on her face he knew she wasn’t someone to be trifled with. Hence trusting on his supernatural instincts, He answered, his words a low rumble echoing through the very space! Heavy!...

"Although I don’t know anything about you. You really hit me where it hurts with that question!" He stopped, took a deep breath, a long sigh escaping his lips, "Yes, I’m willing to take you as my master if you have what it takes to make me stronger! Incomparably stronger then my current self! And release me from this curse! These chains of weakness! So, do you have it." He finished looking her straight in the eyes.

"Oh! Are you challenging me! Boy." Evelynn uttered with raised brows. Impressed by his response.

"You can consider it that way, since if you’re weaker, then I won’t hesitate a moment to disown you as my Master. Lady Evelynn!." Black nodded, a shrewd smile spreading across his lips.

"Oh! Boy. You don’t even know who you are challenging, you really have the guts unbecoming of someone of your level. Alright I accept your challenge." She answered with a wide sadistic smirk. Her hands on her supple hips.

Black felt a slight shiver run down his spine upon watching her wide smirk, "What’s with that weard smirk!?" He said, unexpectedly his words came out tinged with a slight quiver.

"Let’s see who’s gets to disown who. Boy. If I don’t put that arrogance of your in your place, then my name isn’t Evelynn." She uttered with a wide smile, she really like the quivering look in his eyes.

Unexpectedly even she was looking forward to their time together!. Well she was more excited about how she would get to brake a Progenitor with her own too hands for the first time in her very long life in the name of training. ’Hahahaha... ’.

’I can’t wait boy!.’

Then she turned her attention towards zephyr. Who was really quite all this time. She was looking at them as though looking at two unknown creature’s.

’When did they become such good friends.’ However she was bought out of her reverie upon hearing Evelynn voice.

"So what about you? Little serpent!." She asked.

"What about what!?"

Black looked at zephyr, "she is asking if you are also willing to take her as your master." clarifying her doubt.

"What about you!?" She asked.

"He already accepted." Evelynn answered.

"If he accepted then I too will take you as my master." Looking at Evelynn she too answered.

"Master Evelynn." She repeated. A mischievous smile gracing her lips.

"My, aren’t you such an adorable little serpent girl."

"I’m not a serpent anymore, master!." Zephyr corrected, her cheeks puffed, pouting.

"Right! Sorry! Sorry. You’re a Quantiarch now. Oh! By the way just what type of race is a Quantiarch!?" Evelynn question with a curious expression, looking at Black.

"Well. A Quantiarch is a — Quantiarch! Err.. I don’t understand what do you mean En.. by what type of race?" Black asked unable to understand her question.

Evelynn blinked at his response, nonetheless she decided to clarify, "Well, As a progenitor shouldn’t you know what type of race you are like a magical beast, a spirit or a more humanoid one like vampires or elves and what kind of or rather what is the unique ability of your race! Such things?"

"Oh!" Upon hearing her Black nodded in realization, He cleared his throat, "Ahmn.. you can say we are a humanoid race. As for our ability.. Uh.. unique racial ability. I don’t think... I know.. that yet.. not yet atleast since the only other members of my race other then myself is zephyr." Black answered, a little unsure about the last part.

Although he even asked his Partial-Omniscint ability for answere and he even questioned Double who hadn’t spoken to him much after he left that small cave. But double said that Black needed to reach the next stage or in other words reach rank seven first maybe then he would get the answer.

"Hmm.. is that so." Evelynn nodded upon hearing him. She turned towards zephyr, "Little serpent, you weren’t that powerful before becoming a Quantiarch. Right!?" And Questioned.

Zephyr nodded.

Then as though she remembered something she turned towards Black, "Black, do you know what your attributes are." However upon seeing his confused and bewildered expression she doesn’t even need to hear his answer, continuing, "Umm... well, atleast we know that zephyr’s attribute is Elementary Poisen, as for yours we’ll only find that out after you reach the next rank." She finished, nodding.

"Anyways we’ll talk about all these matters after we get out of here!. I’ve already delayed it for so many days." Abruptly she said. Making both of them confused and curious.

"What did you delay!?" Black asked.

"Are we finally leaving?" Zephyr jumped in joy.

Evelynn turned towards Black, since they were about to leave anyways she decided to answer this last question, "You do know that I’ve been following you both since the very first day right. Actually I was ment to take you both back to Octagram on that day itself. However I changed my mind after hearing the little serpent sad back story! Causing the so called delay. The leaders of Octagram would be so pissed right about now... " She laughed as she finished.

Upon seeing that Black was again about to ask her another question, she so wanted to beat the crap out of him, just how many questions did he have but she ultimately decided to deal with him on there first training session.

Hence, she quickly spoke, "Alright shut your curious self up, we are getting out of here now, I don’t like this place at all. Such a disgusting smell of undead." She finished and with a snap of her fingers both Black and Zephyr vanished along with her.

And the silence returned to the now destroyed obsidian stoned ground.

Tranquil and Still.
